“The cottage was lovely all we needed was there.”

A short walk to the pub that did lovely food and a shortish walk to the sea in the other direction. We would recomend this cottage to any one, family or as we were this time just the two of us. We had a smashing time and would use the cottage again. Thank you.

“West Kellet is a lovely cottage and well equipped except some baking trays would be handy.”

Owner kindly provided some milk and biscuits just what you need after a long journey.

“It's very good place and we are pleasure for this journey , but we have one small suggestion ,it is better to provide the related information including supermarket and place for lunch or dinner at your instruction because the guest maybe not familiar with the district at their first time, thanks!”

“Lovely cottage in a quiet and peaceful hamlet.”

Near to coast and 5 minute walk to the local pub which serves meals. Cottage was spotlessly clean and very well equipped with everything you could need. Nice log burner which was lovely to get going. Very pleasant and helpful owner lives very close by helpful for any issues (but there weren’t any). Lovely relaxing week spent there just before Christmas. Bottle of wine and milk left for us. Even Christmas Crackers. Nice touch. Middle Kellett is just across the way which looked equally nice. Thanks for a nice stay.

“The cottage was great and the weather was not so we needed to be able to just pop out to the lakes but we're a bit to far away.”

In future would probably try to stay nearer to where we wanted to be to cut down on the driving.
